Affordable Arrangements

I could not be happier with Carly and her work! She fit everything into our budget and created exactly my vision for our wedding day! The flowers were BEAUTIFUL, the centerpieces perfect, and the service was everything we could ask for. Would book with AA again and again!

Carly was so helpful and flexible! I told her from the beginning that we wanted to keep our flower arrangements very simple and affordable. She came in under budget, suggesting flowers that were seasonal to save a few more pennies. She also seamlessly adjusted our proposal when we postponed our wedding reception. Carly has a beautiful, creative talent, and we were so honored to work with her!

We cannot say enough great things about working with Carly and Affordable Arrangements on the florals for our big day! Carly is everything you would want in a florist - professional, responsive, talented - and more! Carly was wonderful to work with for so many reasons: 1) She was able to take my vision for our wedding and turn it into a detailed plan . (Bonus points because she did this entirely virtually during COVID!) . 2) She was flexible to work within our budget and had the most creative ways to repurpose flowers. 3) She was kind throughout the process as she answered all my questions and was extremely patient as we worked out the finer details of our floral needs. I was blown away by the high quality and beauty of the flowers at our wedding. Many thanks to Carly and the team at Affordable Arrangements for making our wedding truly breathtaking. It was a pleasure to work with you!

Carly absolutely knocked it out of the park when it came to my wedding flowers! She was great at giving recommendations to give me everything that I wanted while sticking to my very strict budget. I sent her some inspiration photos and she could not have done a better job. She was able to capture the vibrant fall color palate look I was going for. I honestly don't think it could have been more perfect. I will be dreaming about my bouquet for years to come.

Beautiful flowers! I’m so happy we chose to work with Carly. She listened to all my requests and answered my many questions. She really heard and saw what I was looking for. Everything came out just how I imagined.

Affordable Arrangements came through for us when we our original florist cancelled because of covid. Carly was super easy to work with and very responsive to my emails. We had downsized our original order due to covid and just had a small bridal party order (bridal & bridesmaids’ bouquets and groom & groomsmen’s boutonnieres). The bride’s bouquet was very pretty, but we were expecting it to be a bit larger (thus the 4-star review). The bride specifically asked that the arrangement be large enough so that the stems were not shown when it was held (it was one of her only requests). The bouquet did show the stems and was not as large as expected. We would definitely use Carly & Affordable Arrangements again, but perhaps ask for a picture of what the arrangement will look like so there are no surprises.

When I started the search for wedding flowers, I had a few different ideas in my mind. When I met with Carly and showed her a few pictures of what I was thinking, along with my dress and the color scheme I was thinking of, she immediately came up with some great ideas. Fast forward to our wedding day and she completely blew it out of the park with her florals! We didn’t want to spend a ton of money on our flowers and Carly kept that in mind during the entire process. She was extremely responsive to emails, worked with a few changes that we needed last minute and was overall a lovely person to work with. I would highly recommend Affordable Arrangements – Carly really has an eye for detail and is SO easy to work with!

Loved the bouquets and Carly was super nice about changing the greens several times because I changed my mind. I loved her recommendation on repurposing my ceremony arrangements for my reception which we ended up putting at our sweetheart table so saved on that.

Carly is hands down worth every penny. Not only is she super affordable hence the name of her business but she was great from the beginning to end, not to mention very personable. I loved that she worked out of her home and I fully support anal businesses. I couldn’t have imagined finding a better florist. My flowers came out more beautiful than I could have imagined and I received so many compliments. I didn’t go crazy on flowers but of what I did order, Carly was flexible when I wanted to make changes and last many additions and provided great advice and was very detailed! She was meant to do this and I couldn’t be happier with my choices and Carly’s professional advice. Thanks so much Carly for making my wedding so beautiful with all your arrangements! The day after our wedding, we ended up donating our flowers to a lady near our venue that raises money for underprivileged children.

Carly was a dream to work with! She made the whole floral arrangement selection process a breeze, and it was so easy to get the bouquets, boutonnieres, and centerpieces from the same person and have them delivered right to the venue! The floral arrangements were exactly like we agreed upon in the proposal, and the flowers were delivered ahead of schedule. We were so happy with Affordable Arrangements!

The flowers for our wedding were amazing! Carly at Affordable Arrangements was a pleasure to deal with. She took my vision for the flowers and brought it to life. Our flowers were absolutely beautiful at a very reasonable price! We could not have been happier and would absolutely recommend Affordable Arrangements!

Carly was the most thorough florist that we have met. She was able to accommodate flowers for all of the different portions of our wedding. She was very flexible and understanding when we made last minute changes. We felt like she really understood our vision, and delivered! Everyone thought our flowers were beautiful!

Carly was great to work with! She was very helpful, responsive, friendly and professional. I don't know much about flowers and just told her my colors and the feel I was going for and the flowers were more beautiful than I could've imagined. Everything from the bouquets, to the arch display, cake flowers and centerpieces were absolutely gorgeous.

I cannot say enough great things about Carly and the Affordable Arrangement's team! I searched for a long time for a florist for my wedding that could capture the look that I desired, while not costing half of my wedding budget! Affordable Arrangements accomplished all of that and so much more. With just a few Pinterest photos, Carly understood exactly what I wanted and I was BLOWN AWAY by the final product. Carly and her team truly created designs that were better than what I could have imagined. We had incredible service throughout the entire planning process and on our wedding day. I would recommend Affordable Arrangements to anyone!

Carly is absolutely the best. She made the flower process the easiest it could possibly be. I had a vague idea of what I was looking for and she made it a reality without it costing a small fortune. She walked my mother and I through everything and was really easy to reach throughout the entire process. She even made some changes for when we decided on using fresh flowers instead of sugar flowers for our cake. On the day of my wedding we had to change the ceremony site due to mud. The coordinator called Carly and told her that we couldn't do the arbor anymore. Carly took it an created it into pieces that could be used at our new ceremony location and around the venue at the cocktail hour and reception site. The flowers all looked beautiful, and I received a lot of compliments on my bouquet. I could not recommend Carly any more highly. I wish there were more stars to give her!

Amazing work!! From the very beginning Carly was very friendly and professional, and she was a joy to work with. The floral arrangements for our wedding day were gorgeous and I couldn't have hired a better person for the job! Thanks Carly!!

Entrusting someone to design your flowers and centerpieces can be a scary process when you literally have no idea what it will look like until everything comes together the day of. However, Carly was able to take my vague ideas and words like “natural and vintage” and completely exceed my expectations! Carly is so sweet and amazing to work with. She works hard to make sure she’s accurately capturing all your ideas. Carly’s quality of work and flowers far exceeds her low price for the DC area. Call Carly now!

Carly did an amazing job with my wedding flowers! She listened to my ideas, gave me great advice and really helped make my vision come true. Having never ordered from a florist, I didn't really have any idea what I wanted or how much I needed. Carly was great - providing a checklist on her website and so many neat ideas for arrangements, flower types that worked for a July wedding for my budget, and everything in between. She was also wonderfully understanding when I said my grandmother wanted a very elaborate (I think I used the word "gaudy") boutonnière. When my grandmother saw it at the wedding, she was so excited! In hindsight, I wish I had ordered more flowers for my reception, because they turned out so beautifully and smelled wonderful!

Carly's flowers for our 9/29/18 wedding were gorgeous. Now, I'm not the sort of bride that had a very specific vision, so Carly worked with us and created beautiful arrangements. She will make suggestions and arrangements according to the size of your wedding, and will not try to "upsell" you on anything! We couldn't have been happier.

Working with Carly was everything we could have ever wanted or needed from a florist for our wedding! She was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and such a joy to get to know throughout our whole wedding planning process! She caught on to our vision and intent for the floral arrangements that we had in mind with only a few pictures and very vague descriptions to work off of, and she went above and beyond to accommodate our ceremony, even considering some last minute torrential downpours! We would recommend Carly to anyone who would ask, and we are so grateful for everything she did to make our wedding day special and beautiful! Thanks, Carly!!

Carly was AMAZING! Going in all I had was ideas that I'd saved on Pinterest, but she really helped me turn that into one cohesive vision. She was incredibly knowledgeable and organized and I really appreciated that she sent along pictures of the flowers that would be used in my arrangements along with the proposal. She even helped me save money with repurposing ideas for the ceremony arrangements. She was also very responsive to my questions and changes throughout the process and was able to seamlessly incorporate the book page flowers I ordered from Etsy (to go along with my Harry Potter theme) into my bouquet. I received so many compliments on our floral arrangements and I can't thank Carly enough!

Carly at Affordable Arrangements did the flowers for our wedding day in August - which were absolutely beautiful and everything we envisioned! Overall, we had a wonderful experience working with Carly throughout the entire wedding planning process. At our initial meeting to discuss our wedding flower vision - she was super knowledgeable, personable, and easy to work with - designing a flower plan/proposal based on some Pinterest photos I brought with me. Additionally, she was able to help us save money by offering flower repurposing options! After our meeting, I would often email her with new requests and changes to the flowers - she was extremely responsive and flexible as well continued to provide exemplary service leading up to the big day! On the wedding day itself, the flowers were perfect and exactly what we envisioned! Every flower detail from the pergola arch to the flowers on the cake to the bridal bouquets received compliments. She also gave us a complimentary toss bouquet and an extra boutonnière! I would highly recommend Affordable Arrangements for wedding flowers! In addition to great pricing and customer service, I can guarantee the flower arrangements will be an absolutely unique and gorgeous touch to your wedding day!

I LOVED working with Affordable Arrangements for my wedding. Carly was extremely helpful with helping me realize my vision. I wasn't completely sure what I wanted for my floral arrangements at first but Carly met with us multiple times and was extremely accommodating. She worked with us to stay within the budget and provided us with affordable options, while also encouraging me to have the flowers that I really wanted. She delivered the flowers on the day of the wedding and everything looked beautiful and perfect! Thank you Carly and Affordable Arrangements for all of your help!! I highly recommend for anyone planning their wedding!

We hired Carly to provide the flowers for our June 2018 Wedding at Murray Hill in Leesburg. I have to start by saying that the flowers were my absolute favorite part of our wedding! I work full time so it was always difficult for me to take time off to meet with vendors as I was going through the hiring process. Carly was willing to have an initial consultation over the phone with me to talk about my vision. I told her I wanted rustic, blush and sage colors, and lots of greenery to fit our venue. She started by having me state everything that I wanted and we can always go back after and remove anything that doesn't work in our budget. Before I found Carly, I was growing frustrated with other florists who didn't really grasp the idea that we had a very strict floral budget and we couldn't spend an arm and a leg on flowers. Carly was so accommodating by making sure she found flowers that were in season and giving us a line item proposal with the costs of each item. Carly was always really responsive and quick to come up with new ideas when I had second thoughts about 6 months before the big day on my color scheme. Thankfully I stuck with my original plan because it turned out so well. She even found us a rental company to provide the milk glass centerpiece vases I was set on having for our wedding. Carly did the most wonderful job. I gasped when I saw my bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquets because they were so beautiful and beyond anything I could have ever imagined myself. She actually emailed me about a week before my wedding to ask if I wanted to incorporate some blush peonies at no extra cost because she had a bunch left and didn't ant them to go to waste. I am so thankful to her for that because peonies are one of my favorite flowers but I knew they were expensive and I didn't think we could afford them. Everything was absolutely stunning and she executed my vision better than I could have ever imagined. I would recommend Affordable Arrangements to anyone!

Amazing vendor! She was very easy to work with, the prices were reasonable and her flower arrangements were beautiful. I recommend this florist to everyone!

I can't even express how much we loved our flowers. For an amazing price, we got gorgeous bouquets and wonderful centerpieces. This florist is a dream to work with - Carly really helps you figure out what you actually need and is a god send when it comes to cost savings. She sticks to your budget and still makes the most beautiful arrangements.

I cannot say enough great things about Carly at Affordable Arrangements. During our initial consultation, she was so warm and inviting, and knew exactly my vision, not to mention helped me keep costs low! A few months later, my bridesmaid dress colors changed a bit, and the flowers no longer matched - so I emailed her and she quickly and easily transformed our original vision into something that would work. When I saw them on the wedding day, I was honestly blown away. They were GORGEOUS, and she was punctual. Thank you for making my wedding so beautiful, Carly!

Wow!! I am still in awe of how beautiful my flowers turned out for my November wedding. Carly and her team were so easy to work with, creative, helpful and friendly. The flowers arrived on the wedding day and were so so beautiful, fresh and colorful. Highly recommend!!

Carly was AWESOME. I don't know much about flowers but told her what "Feel" I was going for and man, she delivered! She even brought us a few extra arrangements with the flowers she had left over! She was budget conscious and super sweet to work with.

The flowers were absolutely beautiful! Carly was not only extremely helpful with budget and ideas, but the design and quality of the flowers were outstanding! We would definitely recommending using Affordable Arrangements for any of your floral needs!

Carly was a delight to work with for my wedding. She carefully noted my preferences and contributed a few of her own creative suggestions to make my floral arrangements truly special. Given how stressful it can be to plan a wedding, I appreciated Carly's friendly and easygoing style. She is versatile, imaginative, and beyond talented. Thanks, Carly!

If I could give more stars, I would! Carly was amazing to work with from the start. From our initial meeting I was confident that she understood my vision and what I wanted my flowers to look like. When I saw them the day of my wedding, they took my breath away! They were beyond beautiful and Carly put together exactly what I wanted! I would refer her to anyone looking for GORGEOUS flowers, someone with an impeccable vision, but would also like to stay within a certain budget. Thank you Carly!!!!

Carly was an absolute dream to work with. Her arrangements were a huge part of my daughters special day. Very affordable and extremely helpful

Affordable Arrangements are the way to go! I went to a friend's wedding and loved her flowers and centerpieces, and she happily referred me to AA. I was planning my wedding to take place in VA while living in NY and Carly made everything SO easy. She put my mind at ease over a couple phone calls, was able to meet my budget perfectly, and she was super responsive over email as well. We had a few changes (as do all weddings) and some last minute adds, but everything turned out seamless. On the big day, I wasn't worried at all - the flowers were exactly what I wanted and our guests all commented on their simplicity and beauty. My only regret was not being able to meet Carly to thank her. I highly highly recommend Affordable Arrangements!

Carly is AMAZING! Going in to the process, I had no idea what flowers I wanted. I gave her a very general idea of the colors I was looking for and some inspiration pictures for centerpieces and the final outcome was better than anything I could have ever imagined. I was truly blown away. She is also a true professional and absolutely wonderful to work with. I can't recommend her enough.

We were so THRILLED with the flowers Carly and her team arranged for our wedding. We met with her and had several conversations leading up to the big day. Each time we asked her to add just a bit more flowers and “wow” factor and WOW did she deliver! The flowers were so romantic and beautiful and really showed off our venue and theme so well. I cannot say enough amazing things about Carly and Affordable Arrangements! She was so patient, answered every question my mom and I had and then some, and at the end, used an artist’s vision to make a show-stopping display of flowers! The pricing was also very reasonable and everything exceeded my expectations. I loved my bouquet so much I took it on my honeymoon with me to enjoy!!!

My flowers and details were amazing! Everything was exactly how I imagined and more.

The flowers Carly put together for our wedding were beautiful! I live out of town so communicated with Carly via phone and email. She was so easy and pleasant to work with. After our first conversation Carly knew exactly what I wanted and created floral arrangements even more beautiful than I had imagined. My bridal bouquet was a mixture of blush pink and ivory roses and looked stunning in photos. I highly recommend Carly for wedding flowers.

Carly and Affordable Arrangements did such a wonderful job on our wedding! She was able to create exactly what I had in mind for the bouquets and centerpieces, and then some. We received so many compliments on the flowers for our wedding, and it is all thanks to Carly!

Carly was great, she accommodated any of my requests regarding our flowers and was flexible when I had some changes later in the process. She delivered the flowers herself and they looked beautiful, I received so many compliments. Not to mention that her prices beat everyone else's by far. I would recommend her to anyone!

Carly at affordable arrangements did an INCREDIBLE job on our wedding flowers. I live out of town, so we communicated by phone and email. She was incredibly flexible, and helpful. I just told her the colors and style I was looking for and she did the rest! She even gave us the extra blooms that she didn't use, extra boutonnieres, and mason jars to keep the bouquets in!

Carly and Affordable Arrangements were amazing and incredibly easy to work with! We sent pictures that conveyed the ideas we were going for and they made them a reality. They also were able to add in some boutonnieres for us after we requested them only two weeks before the wedding. Everything was perfect and the guests loved the flowers! The price could not be beat either!

Carly was a life saver after we realized that many of the other florists in our area were not within our budget. She was able to take all the inspiration photos I had been saying for so long and created my dream bouquet without breaking the budget. She was also able to incorporate lace from my late grandmother's wedding dress, as well as my sorority badge, into my arrangement, which made the entire bouquet even more special. Carly was very responsive, answered all my questions and emails and produced beautiful bouquets for my bridesmaids and boutonnieres for the groomsmen. She also was able to make two beautiful arrangements for our ceremony alter, as well as the cutest moss letters to hang on our alter creation. Over all the quality of the products was amazing, as well as the affordability.

Carly was such a pleasure to work with! She came highly recommended by two brides who got married in the same area, and I would be remiss if I didn't pass along the same courtesy. You can tell that she has a true passion and talent for what she does. She worked with me to envision beautiful local and seasonal blossoms. When they arrived at the venue, the flowers were even better than I could have imagined. She was able to work with my budget and gave me awesome tips on how to save money (moving the bridesmaids bouquets and aisle arrangements after the ceremony to use as center pieces for the reception). The website has an awesome checklist to help you figure out what you'll actually want/need for your ceremony. She doesn't take any of the flowers back after the wedding, so we offered them to our guests. A quick tip- when you book your appointment, she works out of her house. You'll show up to a house and workshop in her backyard.

Carly did an amazing job on our flowers! I wasn't really sure what I wanted and was on a relatively tight budget, and she was so helpful in interpreting my vision for the day and making it a reality. Her prices were much lower than several other florists I met with, and the quality of her work was extremely impressive. I received so many compliments on how beautiful our arrangements were, and they held up perfectly through the whole day (and many days after). I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Carly was amazing to work with. She sometimes had to deal with the bride and mother of the bride and did so with ease. Her prices are very affordable and her work is OUSTANDING. we made several changes along the way and she was able to roll with the. The vision my daughter had was able to be achieved and it would not have been if it wasn't for Carly. We received many complements from the guests on the beautiful, custom arrangements she made. A true gem and a pleasure to work with.

We had a hard time finding a vendor to provide us with what we were envisioning for our wedding flowers. We found Carly and she invited us over for a sit down and we were blown away! Carly worked with us to capture what we were thinking and at the day of the wedding it was exactly as we had discussed. Carly will triple-check details with you and offer her own expertise and advice on certain locations - we cannot thank her enough!

Carly and Affordable Arrangements were JUST what we were looking for in a florist. Not only did Carly pick up on my vision and match it to a T, but she was very professional, responded very quickly via email and accommodating to our needs and preferences. Our wedding was at Oatlands Historic Estate and Gardens and therefore we wanted flowers that would enhance the already beautiful and natural setting. Carly and her team brought flowers to our rehearsal dinner on Friday as well as our wedding on Saturday and the design team missed nothing. The bouquets/boutonnieres, table arrangements, flowers for the cake, and bud vases for the cocktail tables were all so beautifully coordinated and elegantly understated- just the look I was going for. Thanks Carly! I will cherish this magical weekend forever!

I couldn't be happier that I chose to go with this florist for my wedding! Carly was kind and flexible throughout the planning process. She made changes and promptly updated my estimates as issues came up. She also completely understood the look I was going for within just a few minutes of talking to me. I didn't really know what I wanted, but somehow she did! The price point was significantly better than any other vendor I talked to and the flowers were gorgeous. Thanks!

Carly was recommended to us from our cake vendor and it was a huge success! We only did bouquets for myself (bride) and my bridesmaids, and boutonnieres for the gentlemen, but they were stunning. I told Carly that I wanted a bouquet of white roses & blue bombay orchids and it was amazing. It was perfect & exactly what I envisioned. Her prices were very reasonable and she allowed us to pick up the flowers day of to avoid the extra fee to deliver. My only regret was not ordering a tossing bouquet as she suggested as mine got ruined during the bouquet toss. I would definitely recommend Carly, as well as the extra bouquet for tossing if you're going that route.

The flower arrangements were beautiful and held through the night. My bouquet looked just as great the next morning. Carly is professional and works great with your vision and budget. So glad we had her do our wedding flowers.

Carly was the first and only florist we met with. She had such a bright, bubbly personality that I knew she was the perfect fit for us. It was so great that she worked with our venue on numerous occasions, so she knew exactly what we needed. Not to mention her pricing was a breath of fresh air. There is a reason the company is named Affordable Arrangements, because with Carly you can actually afford your dream wedding flowers! I like things to look very clean and simple, I also had a short list of must have flowers. She saw my vision and made it a reality. I could not be more pleased. From beginning to end, I did not have to worry about a thing. Carly is fantastic and the flowers were just beautiful! Thank you Carly for making our wedding day so special!

Carly, at Affordable Arrangements is a dream to work with. She immediately picked up my daughter's vision of a more natural, organic theme and chose fragrant beautiful flowers to create stunning bouquets in chemistry glassware. She filled test tube racks with some of the most exquisite pastel colored delicate sweet smelling flowers I have ever seen. She was so incredibly flexible as we added and made numerous changes. She is responsive, talented and very friendly..

We got married last month and we were very pleased with our flowers from Affordable Arrangements. As a girl who hadn't had her wedding planned out since she was 7, Connie was great to work with and offered lots helpful ideas for color, centerpieces, floral arrangements, ways to save money, and more. She really knows what she's doing and you can feel confident you're getting the most out of your money. She was also very patient with adjusting any changes I made along the way. Honestly, I was a little nervous about planning the floral arrangements without seeing them first, but Connie certainly delivered. My bridesmaids and a number of our guests repeatedly commented on how beautiful the flowers were. We were very pleased with how everything turned out! I recommend Affordable Arrangements!

Carly is fantastic to work with. She nailed what we asked for and is so laid back, kind, and accommodating. You will love working with Carly and save a lot of money too!
